CG580 Weekly Udpate #12

Our week in review: Workspace setup and some 3D modelling.

---

We were able to get back into the garage this week and continue with preparing our building space. Because the space is not temporary, we are putting a little extra effort into the building and finishing of the space. We have plans for its use beyond our Class Globe 5.80 build. Also, as an aside, I have used temporary sheds to do major work on two of our previous boats and for us, based on those experiences, the negatives far out weigh the positives.

I have been chipping away at creating a 3D model of the Class Globe 5.80 sailboat. For a variety of reasons I get a lot of benefit from having access to a 3D version of what I am trying to build over the standard 2D drawings. It not only helps me to better visualise a finished product but it is usually very helpful when it comes to questions of detail.
